Proecratsd cby Lightning.

During the thunder storm that pre-.
vailed last Saturday evening q Il ash OF
lightning and Q violent thunder clap
wes heard all over the city. Every
body was certain that something had
been struck, Dut nobody seemed to
know the bolt had reached the earth.
A number Of ball players on the lot at
VsnBuren and Linden streets were the
most terrified A game of base bail was
iu progress between the "Old Men" and
Young Men," the first being in the
lead. Whst took place as they were
entering upon the third inning Is thus
described by Dutton Peters, one Of the
players:
1 happened to look mp and 1t seemed
to me 90 II the clouds parted and .
great ball Of Ere fell down through the
opening with tremendous crash. The
ball came down almost over the heads
Of the people and then bursted, three
darts Il fiAshtng out In three different ci-
reotiOns. l was stunned and went
down to the ground. When got up 1
saw that all the others had been
stun ned, and some even went to the
ground . second tims. Some ladies
who were looking on were stunned aud
went to the ground. A lady who hed
her hands olasped srouBd q child she
was holding in her arms was no stunned
that she found some difficulty In IN.
clasping her hands.
Some thirteen or fourteen persons
were struck to the earth. Another BY.
standor corrobOrates what Mr.. Dutton
said about the appearance Of the ball OF
hre, Its bursting over the ball players
snd the fiery arrows shooting out In
different directions from 1t. The game
OF base ball was broken up very sud.
denly. The play ers dropped every thing
and started In hurry for their homes,
nearly all In the vicinity. 1t was soon
discovered that brick house belonging
TO Mr.. Webb, on Columbia avenue
and occupied by family of Poles, had
been struck, but although q number OF
parsons were In the house at tie time,
none were injured. The electric fuid
entered the corner of the bouse, coming
down the inside, and set FIRE TO come
dry lathiug. The fire was, however,
sooc put out, and the Injuries 10 the
house were slight. People were stur n ed
by tbs liRhtn ing fash for several
squares around. An old colored rnaB
working In that vicinity was on bis
wey home, and when near Front aud
Broome he heard the claps, aud says he
saw tho lightning come running down.
lie says 1t WIS all around him, the
ground treubled and he could smell
birthstone.
A delightfully."- cool and refreshing
shower of rain followed, and in the
evening there was beautiful heavenly
display OF chain and sheet lightning
across the Delaware In New Jersey. In
Mt Holly that State the thunder was
terrific, and struck In q number Of
places. A brilliant light seen in that
direction In the evening was the burn.

continued during the entire night,
elacked up In the morning but com
nsnoed about 10 O'Clock yesterday and
continued until 2 30o'clock In the after
